[opal eagle]

but the explosion from Frozen Lotus is much bigger in damage

[topaz citrus]

would literally lose over 1,000 dps on fireball lmao

[opal eagle]

and it's also a defensive tool

[gaunt phoenix]

theres always gambling-

i could never do SSF personally for that reason

props to you

[topaz citrus]

did that too, no gold left... Idk what to do genuinely

yeah I have played a ton of other arpgs

first try on this one

love the difficulty

hate the lack of reward

10+ hours with no better weapon drop is very sad

[elder ember]

the best defence is killing monsters faster, shattering palm is a great gap closer

proc freeze faster

[opal eagle]

it does also put you in danger faster 😛

[gaunt phoenix]

if you are in cruel difficulty, you could try just farming the act 1 witch boss over and over

she spawns basically next to the spawn point and you can just refresh the instance

[opal eagle]

but ok, I'll see how it goes

[thorn quest]

Yeah I saw, I have 3 that I could trade. I am uncertain if it would make that big of a difference?

[elder ember]

yes

[topaz citrus]

okay will try this ty

i am in cruel act 3

lvl 60

[elder ember]

huge difference

[thorn quest]

mm, does it matter which support ones I pick or no?

[amber crypt]

CAN THIS BOSS STOP BEING BUGGED?

[quiet elm]

im playing ranger, what stats should i prioritize on armors during campaign?

1. evasion only
2. evasion + energy shield
3. armor + evasion

[amber crypt]

IM IN THE FKING AIR

cringe

[elder ember]

yes. but you know what imma log in and just give you some support gems

[opal eagle]

@elder ember do you think bell is still worth it? I was only using cold damage which felt pretty mid with it

but now that I have chaos damage as well

from ascendancy

maybe it's good now

[elder ember]

my opinions on monk are based on last patch and i was invoker so idk

[thorn quest]

Ehh dw about it, I don't really wanna be just given stuff. Hate being carried. I appreciate the thought though

[elder ember]

man i just know how rare regals are you really should be using them to craft during campaign not trade them tbh

rare in campaign at least

fyi you should be using them on good magic (blue) items you have

[opal eagle]

actually the bell does not trigger from chaos damage

hmm...

[elder ember]

yeah bell only helps with elemental dmg

but bonking it still does great dps

[opal eagle]

even if it's just cold damage?

[thorn quest]

Ppf yeah idk, having to do more than 20 tries on the last few bosses has almost killed all desire to play

[opal eagle]

I guess it's one of those skills that there's no good reason to not use

[elder ember]

use charged staff

for lightning

[opal eagle]

but I don't have lightning scaling

and I don't generate power charges

[elder ember]

doesnt matter just use it for shock and more bell dps

shock is +20% more damage from all sources

at base

you are chayula I assume

[opal eagle]

yes

I'm trying to make it work

[elder ember]

I dont really understand how to make it work lol

weird ass ascendancy

theres only one chaos quarterstaff skill ye?

and that just applies curse and marks

[fervent carbon]

Hey guys, quick question.
When I use a jewelers orb on a bind specter gem level 12 for example and I want to upgrade it to level 15 later, I need to get a new gem and get a new specter right? What does this do to the sockets of the gem? Will I have to use new jewelers orbs on it as well?

[final geyser]

You can just upgrade it, you don't need a new gem.

[fervent carbon]

Ow, I thought I read that doesn’t work on specters

[final geyser]

And if you want to change Spectres, you can disenchant the one you have, and it should return the Bind Spectre gem. I'd assume this also keeps your sockets, though I've yet to try.

[final geyser]

It's worked on the Tamed Beasts and Bound Spectres since 0.2 launch, in the case of the former the skill would only appear in the All Gems tab, though. Spectres seem to show up at the top of the list of Occult skills just fine.

[opaque flare]

hi guys should i wait to exchange my divine orb into exalted orb or transfer it now, its 93 for 1 div will this go up in the next couple days?

[fervent carbon]

Thanks for the reassurance! Playing SSF, so wanted to be sure.

[elder ember]

I don't really know what else to say bro, maybe farm for more support gems so you can buff your snipers
or cut an essence drain spell so you can do sustain damage while focusing on dodging

[thorn quest]

idk, we will see. Appreciate the help but may be the end of my poe journey xD didn't last too long. I've been thinking it could be the most recent patch making everything hard but idk as I haven't played anything before the newest patch

[elder ember]

do you have +level to minion skills on any of your gear? that will help a lot

[thorn quest]

Yeah, I have a unique helmet and my chest has + minion too

[elder ember]

maybe try the fight solo without your friend to see if its easier

[ocean verge]

when does the spirit respawn for the "The hunt begins" quest?

[elder ember]

it doesnt

if you let the spirit go too far away its gone

[ocean verge]

forever?

[elder ember]

yes but dw its not really a quest

[opal eagle]

there's also this

but I don't think I'm using either

[amber crypt]

where do i do this

[opal eagle]

it's on a altar

before last zone of act 3

[amber crypt]

oh no..

[elder ember]

aggorat

[elder ember]

if you are in cruel you can still TP back to act 3

[amber crypt]

here?

[thorn quest]

Yeah that’ll probably be a last resort I’ll try when I next play

[elder ember]

ye

[amber crypt]

thx

[elder ember]

the problem with flames of chayula is its damage gained, which means you cant boost it with chaos damage nodes on the tree

you have to scale your hit damage

[opal eagle]

ye

[elder ember]

dumb asf

[opal eagle]

I'm just investing on cold

main point tbh is to see how good the sustain is

with the mana leech nodes

• the extra chaos damage

[elder ember]

you can get mana leech on gloves

[rustic sigil]

how do I get spirit as a monnk? I'm lvl 20 and I haven't found gear with it on it

[opal eagle]

can also get from runes

you can get spirit on chest pieces

amulets

[elder ember]

spirit on amulet or chest, or Lead Me Through Grace invoker ascendancy node

sad that they nerfed that node

on last patch i had like 240 spirit

[ocean verge]

what stats should I prioritize getting on monk for the salvage bench?

[elder ember]

what do you mean

[atomic coral]

what

salvage bench = destroy items with quality or sockets for their respective gems/shards

[ocean verge]

oh

I thought you could get the stats of the items by salvaging them kind of

like you can get one of the attributes

[elder ember]

no

[ocean verge]

and then put them on another piece of gear

[elder ember]

wrong game

[atomic coral]

what game is that 😭

[elder ember]

LE probably idk

[livid kelp]

yeh Last Epoch

[atomic coral]

goomy wilding

[ocean verge]

what's last epoch?

[final geyser]

Possibly, though this also vaguely described the crafting bench system PoE2 had before it was replaced with runes. There's a few screenshots and interviews that still go into it.

[final geyser]

Another ARPG that has the kind of system you're describing.

[ocean verge]

oh

[elder ember]

who told you that was what the salvage bench does? because you should find them and slap them

then tell them to get a job at GGG

and make it real

[ocean verge]

I think it was in one of the videos I watched

[elder ember]

you might be getting confused with recombinator

[ocean verge]

what's that?

[final geyser]

A crafting mechanic that you unlock once you're in maps (endgame, basically). It allows you to effectively combine two items of the same type by selecting affixes from both of them to attempt to merge into one item.

[smoky delta]

is it normal to be disconnected and have your progress from an entire map in matlan waterways to disappear?

in addition to the xp and the items

[topaz citrus]

For crits is it independent to each skill cast or each projectile

[sleek goblet]

Do you need to have beaten balaba and jamanra to get a trial carry or is it just be in act 2?

[final geyser]

Depends on the skill.

[topaz citrus]

like If I shoot out 8 fireballs do they each have a 15% chance to crit or does the entire cast have a 15% chance to crit

[final geyser]

If it has the Sustained tag, it's per Hit, otherwise it's per use.

[topaz citrus]

I am working on a COC fireball build and wanna understand it better

[final geyser]

For Fireball, it doesn't have the Sustained tag, so it should only roll once.

[topaz citrus]

ah got you, what are some good ways for mult crit chance? I have +100% rn thru tree, and am only at 15% crit chance on fireball

[daring dragon]

Just unlock the sekhemas trials and go there once

[topaz citrus]

so basically every like 7 casts will crit on average?

[sleek goblet]

Kk thx

[final geyser]

Try switching to another gateway in the main menu. Some gateways, especially EU ones, are known to be undergoing a DDOS attack that's making them rather unstable.

[novel ember]

Hello Guys short Question, if i Juice my character up in Dawn of The Hunt, and the Leauge Ends, can i take all the Stuff and the Character to Standart and Play him there?

[final geyser]

All of your characters and stuff will be moved to Standard, yes. You'll be able to keep playing the character for as long as you like, even after the full release, though note that league releases tend to come with major balance patches and content updates that may cause your character to no longer function as before.

[novel ember]

Oh Alright ty, ive read sth about Remove Only Slots, what does that mean, i didnt understand it?

[ocean verge]

so as a monk I should prioritize energy shield/evasion?

[final geyser]

Once your DotH stash is merged with Standard, all of the stash tabs that you had items in will be added as Remove Only tabs. You'll then be able to remove items from them and put them into the Standard tabs if you want.

[lament stone]

eventually probably yes, its the easiest thing to scale on the part of the tree
during the campaign no

[elder ember]

Generally yes, but mainly because of monk's proximity to nodes that buff both of those things. However you aren't limited to only doing that

[lament stone]

during the campaign you want to prioritise life and elemental resistances

other defenses come after those stats

[novel ember]

Ohhh it works like that okay. Thats nice to hear, then i can play without worrying about having to spend lots of time farming all the Stuff again 😮‍💨

[ocean verge]

so I just need to get lucky and find armor with those modifiers?

[elder ember]

Yes

[lament stone]

yea you want to be looking out for gear that has life and/or elemental resists, as well as white gear that you can potentially transmute/augment life or elemental resists on to

[elder ember]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[ocean verge]

how do I transmute and augment?

[lament stone]

you just use a you just use an orb of transmutation or augmentation on an item

theyre common currencies

[ocean verge]

so I can transfer a modifier to another item?

also can I go ahead and crush this

[final geyser]

Yes.

[elder ember]

Yes do it now

It's permanent

[ocean verge]

awesome

how do I use gemcutting?

[elder ember]

Find uncut gem. Turn it into skill gem

Equip skill gem

Assign gem to your bar like you did in the tutorial

[ocean verge]

ah okay

I thought I needed like a gemcutting station or something

[elder ember]

Nope

[ocean verge]

should I get martial tempo + rage later for my quarter staff or glaciation for frozen locus?

[elder ember]

Press g to manage gems

[elder ember]

Martial tempo for ice strike

[ocean verge]

what's ice strike?

I'm just following some random build rn

[elder ember]

Oh you probs aren't high enough level for that atm

Martial tempo is one of the best supports so put it on your highest dps skill

[ocean verge]

how about my quarter staff attack? that's what the build says t odo

[elder ember]

Yeah for early game do that

Once you get tempest flurry or ice strike move all your supports from quarterstaff attack to that

[ocean verge]

okay

are there ways to level up skill gems or do I just have to find them myself

[elder ember]

Yes you find higher level uncut gems, you can use them to cut a new skill or upgrade one you already have

You will naturally find higher and higher level ones as you progress

And they are quest rewards too

[marsh lark]

I got a question. Does POE have seasonal cosmetics to chase every season that are free after completing challenges or no?

[fringe obsidian]

poe 1 does. poe 2 hasn't had content like that yet

but I'd be shocked if it didn;'t get some as it wears on

[marsh lark]

So we might get them when the game fully releases? But for now this "season" isn't counted as a real season? Or how should I look at it with EA and all

[fringe obsidian]

I don't know off the top of my head, but I assume we'll get proper leagues/seasons during EA. In full release we will for sure.

[marsh lark]

Didn't a new league start now?

[final geyser]

Pretty sure it's been confirmed that it will eventually get league challenges and cosmetics for PoE2, it's just not certain when. It could happen only at full release, or before that, but it will happen.

[fringe obsidian]

no they were very clear to say this wasn't a league

it's just a small amount of content

[marsh lark]

Just economy reset?

[ocean verge]

what is this?

[final geyser]

Dawn of the Hunt has no mechanics exclusive to it, nor any league challenges or rewards. It is a fresh economy and is effectively a league in that sense, but that's it.

[fringe obsidian]

yeah and a small amount of content. poe leagues are usually an insane amount of content. they added a city builder once

[final geyser]

It's an offhand item that gives you Energy Shield and can roll Spell-related affixes. You can see more info if you hold Alt and click on the underlined 'Focus' text.

[marsh lark]

Crazy! Can't wait😁

@fringe obsidian @final geyser thank you for the answers

[fringe obsidian]

yeah I'm really looking forward to see what they cook up even for poe 1

[ocean verge]

should I prioritize quality?

[fringe obsidian]

quality just increases base values typically. it's not something you need to worry about too much while leveling, but it's nice. in late game it's good to max out quality on everything

while leveling I find the best stats are just flat tankiness, es, hp, some res.

and damage. damage above all else actually

[ocean verge]

which one?

[dusky burrow]

which one has bigger numbers

9+18+3+6 = 36
13+26 = 39

[ocean verge]

oh and the one on the right has increased physical damage

[dusky burrow]

that's a local mod, so it only affects the number at the top

[ocean verge]

okay

[static loom]

my ascent to power quest is bugged again, but now in cruel act 2, I killed the boss in traitors passage but it did nothing

[final geyser]

That's normal, you don't get another free Barya in Act 2 Cruel.

[coral radish]

are there specific spots to farm gear for ssfhc? first time doing ssf

for the campaign and act 2 especially

[fair stream]

How much spirit do we get from all acts?

Is it 100 extra?

Ahh

[final geyser]

A total of 100 Spirit.

[fair stream]

Beautiful thank you!

I know this isn't a PC channel but could somebody tell me why this sold for 11div.. just got it to drop now

[tacit elk]

Is a increased to lightning damage the same as me increasing elemental damage like are they different buckets?

[final geyser]

Increases are additive to one another, so 10% increased Lightning Damage is equivalent to 10% increased Elemental Damage on a pure Lightning hit.

[tacit elk]

dang thanks

[subtle whale]

im tired imma go to bed now...
how can I get this dude ded tho 😭

[split burrow]

i have put some point in my 2nd weapon set to meet the requirement to equip a second weapon, but i can't equip that second weapon in my 2 slot, how do i know if i met the requirements or put it in the second slot ?

[heavy fable]

get some cold resist and learn his patterns...most important is the timing in the poetry phase

[subtle whale]

poeatry phase is the one I js died in?

also my dmg is lacking it took a few minutes to get there...

[heavy fable]

when it gets all smokey and he leaves the screen, yeah

[subtle whale]

there probably isnt a real farming place this earls on right?

[subtle whale]

ah oki

[trim turret]

Having a second weapon set doesn't require you to spend weapon set points. You just need to meet the stat requirements.

[trim turret]

Are you following a guide? Do you have support gems on your damage skills the benefit them?

[shut lake]

Warrior is by FAR the worst class... what a pos

[trim turret]

There are some very effective warrior builds right now. Mileage varies based on a lot of factors.

The new ascendancy is super tanky and with some of the new support gems you can explode entire screens later on with boneshatter.

[half lodge]

So when is fun going to be allowed again in POE2 or is it gone for good?

[shut lake]

dude the warrior is SO boring and the misses of skills are so unsatisfing... there's no game on the planet where warrior/barb or w/e feels like this crap to play

[trim turret]

Define fun? We're on version 0.2. It's very early.

[trim turret]

What misses? You should be getting enough accuracy to have 100% chance to hit.

[shut lake]

Define fun.... bro

[shut lake]

No way bro, I miss like 30% of my hits

On most skills... esspecially when you don't hit you get ambushed

[trim turret]

Yes, bro. People find different elements of games to be fun so feedback should he more specific than "fun not allowed." Expound a bit.

[shut lake]

I'm not talking endgame here

[trim turret]

I dont know how unless you're getting stunned or something.

[half lodge]

So you think it's just a phase of slowing things down to a crawl and nerfing everything into the ground so they can buff stuff and make gameplays faster again after to find a balance between the game being dark souls 5 and poe 1?

[shut lake]

Warrior is a boring grind towards endgame... with NO fun... it's impossible ppl have any "fun" during first 3 acts... its a pain with no gear

I'm gonna give up warrior because this is not what is even close to my lvl 95 lich and sorc

[trim turret]

I'd describe it a little less snarkily, but yes. Easier to bring things up to a better place when you start with a lower baseline.

[trim turret]

Ok. Go do that. This is a help/questions channel.

It's clear they haven't found the balance they or the community are looking for.

Adding the other 5 classes and items and acts 4-6 and everything else that is going to happen will give plenty of opportunities to twist knobs and adjust things before 1.0.

[half lodge]

Have they talked about some sorda time line on how long this early access phase of the game was going to take like. a year? or no eta at all for full release?

[trim turret]

They said up to a year and they're still hoping to stay within that but I'm not sure they're gonna make it honestly.

[half lodge]

a year could be 2 years i guess but at least they gave some indication. By than we should see what they really plan on how the game is going to be like compared to poe1

[worthy drum]

spoiler : they can't escape the fate becoming POE1 because the audience demand it...

[half lodge]

personally i would be very happy with a updated poe 1

not darksouls

[trim turret]

That's not going to happen. They don't want, and a large portion of the playerbase don't want another game where endgame devolves into a one button screen mulcher.

[half lodge]

if i want dark souls i play elden ring if i want to kill thousand of monsters and get loot explosions i play poe

[trim turret]

There is a middle ground they have not yet achieved.

[shut lake]

This game is carried by influencers atm... the game is trash... the economy is rising up like crazy... and there are actually good games to play rn... man that warrior REALLY pissed me off... I don't even feel like playing rn

[half lodge]

i also don't want every boss to drop 30 legendary items like diablo games

[shut lake]

even worse

[trim turret]

Take it someplace else. Again, version 0.2.

[shut lake]

stop acting like you are a some1 here... I can speak fo

[trim turret]

Nah, its a help channel, not a disruption and complaining channel. Go to #2┃general for that.

[shut lake]

Go start your own damn channel and stop bossing ppl around

[candid quartz]

Fr

[half lodge]

I been playing poe 1 since beta and this is the first league i havent played this far into it. The game itself needs help from the darksouls Jonathan vision. But at least we it's early accesss and as lot can still change when we ask for help

tencent can save us from him

[azure rain]

who are these people

[trim turret]

Yeah let's get it back on topic.

[trim turret]

Which people?

[azure rain]

and a large portion of the playerbase don't want another game where endgame devolves into a one button screen mulcher

[opaque cove]

hey idk if this is the right place for it, but i keep getting this message after redeeming on epic launcher (your account does not have access to poe2, early access. redeem an early access key on our website or purchase access now.)

[azure rain]

genuinely curious since everyone that ive spoken to about the current state of endgame is disappointed

[trim turret]

I'm one of them. I spent 3800 hours doing that. I'm ready to press more than one button to explode 150 monsters at once.

Doesn't mean I'm happy with the current balance.

[lament stone]

how did you get this key?

[candid quartz]

Can add me to the list too

[trim turret]

Source of your key?

[opaque cove]

i got it from a friend for the epic launcher, and put it into the epic launcher and it redeemed for poe 2, and its letting me download it from the launcer as well

[lament stone]

thats not an early access key, thats the client key so you are able to download the game in that client, it does not give access to the early access

[opaque cove]

oh i see

thank you for clarifying it, i couldnt find anything on it

and here i was excited to play it xD lol

[trim turret]

It'll be free if you wait long enough.

[opaque cove]

do we know the date?

[trim turret]

Nope.

We're only at 0.2 and while version number matters very little, logic would dictate they'll have major updates for 0.3, 0.4, etc until we hit 1.0.

[azure lava]

Tho we might go into 0.10, 0.11, etc

[fickle ember]

im swapping my lich build , wats the easiest way to get a handful of t1 support gems?

[gaunt phoenix]

alright sombody has to tell me, where the hell did the "rue is a cat" thing come from.

[trim turret]

Trade for them or farm low level areas.

[odd forum]

just buy them

they are like <1 alch

but if ur gonna buy support gems just buy t3 ones, ppl trade for basically same price

[hard blade]

Uh when will patch 0.2f drop? I know today but idk when

[real stirrup]

hello i want to buy low lvl uniques, is there a way to search on trade for lvl "0" uniques? cant find it... or any website with the full list of llv0 uniques

[real stirrup]

30min

[azure lava]

Minimum ilvl is 1

And you probably want to check for level 2 as the minimum level requirement

[static zodiac]

can ppl tp into utzala maps normal difficulty to help some1 after they ve completed the campaign?

[azure lava]

Since level 2 is the soonest you could buy and equip a unique from a player

[azure lava]

Yes

They gotta do some annoying time travel portal stuff, but yeah

[static zodiac]

im stuck at the utzala boss nd ppl say they can't tp to me nd help me kill this boss

[static zodiac]

oh I see thx

[azure lava]

They haven't done the requisite time travel bs, yeah

[azure lava]

Also give #1328202289755983932 a read and if you follow those tips, you should have strong enough gear to solo the campaign

[static zodiac]

thx

[inland socket]

poe 2 is gonna be free sometime right? its just in like a beta or whatever?

[azure lava]

Correct

It was already free for me

[inland socket]

lol

from what?

[azure lava]

If you spent like $480+ USD on buying stuff from GGG cumulatively on your account you get into the poe2 beta free

That's what I get for playing poe for 12 years

[real stirrup]

@azure lava if i put minimum, it will show every single unique, even lvl80 ones...

[azure lava]

Oh yeah, sorry, maximum level req of 2

I was saying that the lowest ilvl an item can possibly have is 1 and tricked myself

[real stirrup]

is there somewhere a list of all unique itens?

[woven portal]

server down?

[tulip coyote]

how much did you spend in 12 years

i am curious

[abstract compass]

Hello, please tell me, modifier damage increase from char and damage increase from chaos are somehow different and why wands with a modifier for damage by chaos are more expensive?

[wide wasp]

is the game back up

[clear wave]

its updating for me right now

[fleet wolf]

im lvl 35, should i do the ascendancy trial

[clear wave]

yes.

[inland socket]

jeez bro

[fleet wolf]

uh, im trying to do the trial of sekhema and it says to return to the andura caravan and speak to zarka. I am at zarka and no new dialogue has come up

[azure lava]

It's not that much in the grand scheme of things. $40 a year

[fleet wolf]

just did haha

[lucid shale]

do lightning exposure and conductivity stack or does the greater debuff override the other?

wrong channel my bad

[dusky burrow]

they stack

[lucid shale]

thank you, penetration, exposure and curses are all seperate debuffs so they all stack?

[dusky burrow]

pen is not a debuff, but yes

wait is this for poe1 or poe2

[lucid shale]

ok good, the way the game describes debuffs makes it unclear, poe2

[dusky burrow]

in poe2 it cant pen below 0%

so let's say enemy has 30% res, you curse down 20%, exposure 10%, enemy at 0% pen does nothing

[lucid shale]

I see

[dusky burrow]

curse 20, exposure 20, enemy at -10% pen still does nothing

curse 10, exposure 10, pen 10000%, it only goes to 0%

[lucid shale]

I understand, thanks for the help!

[hollow canyon]

Hey just started game on ps5 and it’s telling me there’s been a patch and to restart game.
I keep doing it and I just can’t log in

[hollow mural]

Acendency respec!?!? Hell ya I'm jumping back in

[cosmic shuttle]

Redoing an Ascendancy Trial now allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.

im wondering if it needs to be the exact amount or if you can do the higher one to change too.

like if you have 2 points could you change if you did the 4 point one

seems like that would make sense to me but it doesnt match whats worded

[low moon]

is there a way to bulk buy portal scrolls from vendor? (shift right click doesnt work?)

[real stirrup]

do i need to kill rotten druid at grim tangle? or can i skip it?

[clear wave]

do ascendency trials scale with your level/power? If you are struggling on one can you go level and get stronger and then come back to have an easier time? Or will that not matter?

[fleet wolf]

completed my trial of ascendancy, tried a second one and died 😦

[fleet wolf]

i did the one from balbala and it was very easy

and then i had another one from an act 3 thing and it was harder, it says on the relic

[clear wave]

that doesn't reaslly answer my question though.

[fleet wolf]

well i mean, it says on the relic

thats what im geting it

it says the enemy level

[flint plume]

The level of the ascendancy trial is based on the level of the relic. It doesn't scale with your character.

Or rather, the level of the entry, not the relic

You can also make the Trial of the Sekhemas much easier with good relics

[clear wave]

you mean like the level of the coin you get? the thing you need to start the trial

the map for the first trial says level 22. That means that this will always be level 22?

[lucid shale]

In the case of storm lance I'm not sure if all penetration will apply, if it says it applies to damage it should but what if it applies to attacks specifically?

[real stirrup]

anyone know my question?

[lucid shale]

Most of storm lance damage comes from the lightning bolts, not sure if that's part of the ""attack"

[dusky burrow]

the bolts are also attacks

[lucid shale]

sweet

[dusky burrow]

or i guess it's not an attack but only attack damage

[dusky burrow]

what source of pen are you talking about?

i think any source should work but just to be sure

[flint plume]

Yes. Technically I think it starts at level 22 but increases a little as you get farther into the trial, but yeah, the level is based solely on the coin. Your character's level is irrelevant. You can overlevel and do the trial when you're much stronger if you want. Many people do that.

[lucid shale]

Forces of nature

[flint plume]

In general PoE has no level scaling. Every zone in the campaign has a fixed level. Zones that you open with items like the Ascendancy trial and endgame maps are based on the item you used to open them.

[dusky burrow]

it says "attack damage", the bolts are attack damage

[lucid shale]

thx

[real stirrup]

what?

[lucid shale]

they meant to reply to me

[lucid shale]

I dont know but I think you need to beat the boss, let me know if you need help

[dusky burrow]

he def doesnt grant anything, so unless he's blocking the area or something you can skip him

i think he does block the area though

[real stirrup]

ty

[small heath]

Are runes not considered "socketables" by affinity?

[dusky burrow]

they are

[half moon]

I shtere a hot key I might have hit that turns off health bars? I have it enabled for allies in settings

[silver salmon]

yes go to settings

[vestal iron]

Need help with triels of chaos

[autumn sphinx]

is there anything i can do against the rolling double slam of the queen of filth? if i get hit by the first hit, i get carried over to the next slam and i die

the first hit has a very short tell..

i cant dodge through her

[sacred hedge]

I forgot to do my first ascendency trial. Did the second. Got 2 points. Redid the first and didnt get any points. Any ideas? I've tried the first one a few times and nothing. The first trial item says I can get points if I complete it but at the end...nothing

[inland socket]

yea thats fair

[hybrid star]

doing 2nd will get you both, 4 points total, skipping the need for the 1st

are you sure you did the 2nd?

[sacred hedge]

I did the second. It gave me only 2 points

yes. The trial of chaos in act 3

[fickle ember]

do you earn anymore spirit from cruel acts?

[azure lava]

That is still a tier 1 ascension option, though. You can get another 2 points from specifically the quest version of the trial of the sekhema. (with Balbala's Barya)

[sacred hedge]

I have done that one twice with no ascendency points. The green balbala item

[azure lava]

Oh, weird

[sacred hedge]

I finish it and I cant click the ascendency statue. I go back to her and she gives me back my item

[azure lava]

And you did the quest version of chaos?

[sacred hedge]

yep

[real stirrup]

can i acess trial of shekemas without killing balbala?

[azure lava]

Sounds like a /bug to me

[azure lava]

No

[real stirrup]

so its mandatory

even second character?

[azure lava]

Yes, you get 40 from the bog witch in act 3 cruel

[sacred hedge]

So do I email support? Dont want to throw away this char

[azure lava]

Yes, you don't unlock the trial of the sekhema zone unless you defeat balbala

[round iris]

Real talk not new but Byron do you know if I can skip ascent 1 and just do my 4th get all points

[azure lava]

There's a bug report forum. The link is in the pins in #2┃general

[sacred hedge]

ok cool

[azure lava]

I believe you can, yes

[round iris]

Alright sweet thanks

[azure lava]

It sounds like you're getting stunned by the first hit so I would get more life (and thus more stun threshold)

[fickle ember]

oh thank god 😄 ty

[azure lava]

I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to help with gearing and getting tankier

[hasty sigil]

Hey guys, I built a spark MOM+EB sorc, and am starting a3 cruel, and am now struggling enough I am looking for a guide. Anyone have one for that?

[cunning anvil]

Has anyone been able to get anything out of this:

Glacial Lance is now able to chain off terrain.

I have been throwing at walls, socket in chain, socket in ricochet. Got nothing. It just blows up on the wall.

[sinful shuttle]

how do I go to past/present town in act 3?

[autumn sphinx]

is there a way to stop being dragged by queen of filth rolling slam?

how do i get more items?

do i just farm this map until i get something worthwile?

[autumn sphinx]

ok thanks. i guess for now its just" sucks to be me "i guess

[candid mason]

Is witch good after the newest balance changes?

[trim turret]

Good with what kind of build? Hard to say if an entire class is good or bad.

[flint plume]

From what I understand chaos has been good the whole patch, not sure about the current status of minion builds after the buffs they've gotten

[sage phoenix]

I'm building a EDC Chronomancer, which ascendancies would you advice me to take after temporal rift? Options seem neat but situational.

[hard slate]

can someone help me with act 2? I have the Djinn Barya but it doesn't seem like I can get to the trials... Zarka isn't giving me any options 😦 am I screwed?

[daring dragon]

Act 2 normal or cruel?

[hard slate]

normal

I think I might have figured out... was playing with a group the other day, we killed Barbala, but its not showing on my map as if I had killed him... so I guess I need to go to Traitors passage and kill him again lol... will try that and report back

[daring dragon]

Also try a relog if it shouldn't work

[hard slate]

so much easier now that I just finished act2 lol

it work

time to ascend, finally! thanks

wait, I have the Balbala and the Djinn Barya... which one do I use? what's the difference?

[daring dragon]

Doesn't matter

One is the quest one, the other a randomly dropped one.

[meager galleon]

the one with green name is the quest one

and that one is reusable until you succeed

[hard slate]

oh, good to know

I wonder why I have 2... what does the Djinn do? allow me to ascend again?

[round isle]

whenever im going on poe 2 trade it showing 3 months old items is there a way to make sure the items im seeing are from the new league?

[daring dragon]

No they are practically the same

The quest one just is a safety net

So people can't run out of attempts.

[hard slate]

ahhh

no benefit in using djinn then

[meager galleon]

you have the league selection on standard in stead of dawn of the hunt

[plain saddle]

I honestly hate Jamara the abomination. It's a shit boss that gets you stuck for hours depending on your build

[meager galleon]

thats a feedback more suited for the feedback forums where ggg will see it

[dapper willow]

Ah jamjam hate him too but my attrition is better than his no matter the build

[granite totem]

Hey, I suddenly can't use any of my micro transactions on my PS5, anyway to fix this?

[plain saddle]

The one boss that's just inbetween when you are still pretty meh, and before you start getting the good stuff.

[quasi junco]

weird question but ive seen lots of Mobolitics build where they add 5 gems to a base weapon skill like spear stab but i cant seem to figure out how they do it. i have a lesser and greater gem but cant seem to place them on the skill to get 4 or 5 gem slots

[meager galleon]

the sockets on those innate skills granted by items go up with either your lvl or the item level

[normal nacelle]

Can you respec the venom draught rewards?

[meager galleon]

afaik no, hopefully that will change in the future

[subtle whale]

I looked at multiple but my brain didnt work any better afterwards?
Is there a written one anywhere?

[meager galleon]

maxroll.gg and mobalytics.gg have a bunch of decent guides

[tepid gazelle]

guys, how do I see stun threshold? i see ailment threshold in C tab, but not stun

[weary osprey]

it's just your player life

[tepid gazelle]

so.. how do i prevent less 'stun build up' when i get this map 'bonus'

[random solar]

where the fuck is colossus titans hitbox?

[zenith bloom]

why cant i access the altar in sehkmas trial

[random solar]

half of the time my bonestorm doesnt hit him

[zenith bloom]

his hands is mainly what i aim for

[daring dragon]

You will have to be more specific than that for people to help

[zenith bloom]

for the ascendancy points

i did chaos trial for my first 2, went back and completed the barya from quest but i cant interact with the altar

cant even use the exit portal have to make my own

now when i go back, balbala gives me another quest barya repeatedly

[daring dragon]

Have you checked if you got 4 points or 2?

[zenith bloom]

yes

[daring dragon]

Then no idea. However, yesterday another user also came here with a similar situation. They skipped the first trial and did the second one first. They couldn't unlock the first two points via sekhemas and people didn't find a solution on how to fix it and recommend to contact support.

Only thing that comes to my mind is to try a higher trial and hope it unlocks the first two points alongside the later ones

[zenith bloom]

guess ill just do chaos 7 when i get there

[thorn quest]

Trying to trade right now and it says my account is unable to use this feature?

[daring dragon]

Are you lvl25+?

[thorn quest]

no

[daring dragon]

That's why

[thorn quest]

Right, think I am screwed then xD

[daring dragon]

Not rly, keep progressing through the campaign.

[thorn quest]

Can't. tried a boss over 30+ times rn and unable to beat it

Was told my support gems weren't good enough or something idk

[daring dragon]

Farm some maps if necessary, ask for help in your clan or in #2┃looking-for-group or use the ingame group finder.

[thorn quest]

what are maps?

[daring dragon]

Also read https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[daring dragon]

The areas you move through

[thorn quest]

Yeah dw read that already, most of my gear doesn't accept any of those

[daring dragon]

That's not possible

If this guide doesn't helps you aren't applying the advice in it properly.

[zenith bloom]

Check your merchant vendors for upgrade every level

[thorn quest]

Most of this guide is for having items to then scrap/sell for resources no?

[zenith bloom]

What boss are you stuck on?

[thorn quest]

Jamanra, risen king (The first Jamanra)

[daring dragon]

Part of it

[zenith bloom]

Slot lightning res runes in your gear

[daring dragon]

But it also has other useful tips

[zenith bloom]

look for gear with it too

[thorn quest]

Ah, second part didnt load

mb

[thorn quest]

I only have one thing with a socket and it has lightning res

[zenith bloom]

Do this, look for sockets, use your currency to upgrade items

Also can gamble gold

farm dreadnaught for some xp/items if you need gold

[daring dragon]

I don't recommend gambling early on. Better check the regular vendors each lvl.

[thorn quest]

Most of my items have the "Item has no space for more mods"

[thorn quest]

What is dreadnaught?

[zenith bloom]

The entire 2 areas before jamanra

[thorn quest]

alr, just run around killing the smaller enemies?

[zenith bloom]

Yeah thats what id do if i needed xp/items to use/ sell/disenchant

[thorn quest]

I don't think I need xp?

[zenith bloom]

Youd be Suprised what a few levels could do

[thorn quest]

aight, yesterday people told me leveling isnt the issue

xD

[daring dragon]

It's not just about exp

Farming a bit will give exp, items, currency.

The additional lvls will give more shots at the vendors

Etc

[meager galleon]

its possible your gear/ or skill+supprt setups are just shit

it happens to everyone

at different points of acts

[thorn quest]

probably are, first time playing poe

[meager galleon]

act2 boss is a often a pain point for this

[zenith bloom]

Just incase, make sure youve grabbed all the extra skill points/campaign stats up to jamanra

[thorn quest]

I have played other ARPG's and not had this many issues xD

[thorn quest]

Yeah, I'll have a looksie later

[daring dragon]

Don't worry that's normal

[zenith bloom]

Google/ maxroll campaign stats poe2, they have a nifty list

[thorn quest]

Yeah i used to use maxroll on the other games I played. Although normally shouldn't need it to just beat the campaign xD

[meager galleon]

other arpgs dont let you fuck up as much as poe does :D

[thorn quest]

I do kinda like the difficulty though

The other ARPG's I have played are a bit too the other way (easy)

[meager galleon]

its a bit better in poe2 (although lots of stuff still needs lots of tuning, its early access afterall)
but in poe1, it was very possible to get yourself into a situation in acts where the best solution was "just make a new char and fuck up less"

[thorn quest]

daamn really?

I am all for making a new character each season/league but doing it without even finishing the game 😢

[meager galleon]

i mean, its usually fixable for experienced players, but for new players, that was the easier solution

[thorn quest]

Is it possible me or my friend I am playing with is just using a bad class?

I'm playing witch and they are playing sorceress

[meager galleon]

both of those should be decent to play

spell builds also less reliant on keeping up with your weapon upgrades (compared to attack builds)

playing in a party can be the issue, enemies do get more hp per party memeber, and it might just scale too much atm, seen some complaints

[thorn quest]

I have heard that too

When I play later today I might try doing the boss solo

[meager galleon]

bosses pretty much have +1x hp for each party memeber

so 2x with 2

[thorn quest]

mm, I heard it was +50% per player

but idk lol

[meager galleon]

it depends if its normal, rare or boss enemy

bosses are uniques

[thorn quest]

that chart is amazing ty 🙏

[meager galleon]

you can find this and more on poe2wiki.net :)

[thorn quest]

Idk if on my own it will still work but we will see xD

[jovial ferry]

how do i get a good starting weapon to go through the acts cuz i run out of mana during the bosses

im playing lightning spear

[daring dragon]

Trading or applying the advice in here https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

The situation about your mana is a different topic tho.

[round isle]

is there an addon for price checking items directly from game?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[round isle]

what is it called?

[daring dragon]

Iirc the two most popular are the overwolf overlay and sidekick.

[jovial ferry]

i followed it and still im too weak cuz my mana run out during the fight i dont have enough dmg

[daring dragon]

The advice in the guide is very indepth. I doubt you applied all of it in 10 minutes.

Other than that I can't help you further.

[jovial ferry]

No i already played months ago and reached the maps when the game came out

[daring dragon]

Makes sense then. Still, the guide covers all the major ways of obtaining better gear early on.

You will just have to keep trying.

Assuming you are running a decent build of course.

[shut abyss]

my guess is +skill level modifiers and zero mana sustain

[daring dragon]

If you went with a homebrew build then the issue might be related to that instead of your gear.

[jovial ferry]

im following the guide but i never played this build before so idk how am i gonna fix the mana against the bosses

[daring dragon]

They said they are still in campaign. I assume they don't have either of those things yet.

[jovial ferry]

im still lvl 24

[shut abyss]

does boss fights take longer than 2 minutes and you run out of mana because of that?

[jovial ferry]

Ya

its the 2 bosses in act 2

[shut abyss]

good weapon should fix both issues then

the 2 bosses, horse and mage i'm assume are abit annoying and tanky but

[meager galleon]

and exiled exchange 2, which is a branched from the most popular one from poe1

[jovial ferry]

vendor had a really bad spear and i tried to buy a random spear with gold and thats what i got rn

[meager galleon]

okay, so thats like 56 dps weapon

you could add like 10 dps by just sticking a rune into it

which is like 20% more dmg at these values

[shut abyss]

also it's probly horrible, can't remember what kind of spear i had in act 2

[meager galleon]

yeah, it seems a bit weak for act 2

[jovial ferry]

thats what the guide has

[meager galleon]

sec, lemme math

[shut abyss]

this is aloot better but it's more of a guideline for mods you want on your weapon

[meager galleon]

a hunting spear with only 5-9 added phys and 50% inc phys dmg would be about 50dps, so about the same you have now

+3 lvl at the end of act2 seems a bit unrealistic

and the chance to maim doesnt do much for dmg

[jovial ferry]

the +3 level is so good to have

[shut abyss]

it also comes with mana issues

[meager galleon]

i would just focus on flat dmg, doesnt have to be phys

this early, anything works

what matters is just the total dps, the more the better

so first, i would try to get something that has better dps than your current 56

then stick a rune into it

one of the ones that just add flat fire/cold/lightning dmg

cos the phys ones are % inc phys, and at this low level, the weapons dont have enough phys for that to be worth it

[jovial ferry]

so do i try another spear from this ?

[meager galleon]

got any other plans for the gold ?

[jovial ferry]

Not really also i dont think there is another way to get a better spear since the npc sells a bad one rn

[meager galleon]

also do you have an artificier orb?

its the one that adds a socket

[jovial ferry]

ya i have 4

i always collect the items with quality and sockets to destroy

[meager galleon]

great, so yeah, i would just gamba all my gold on a spear, and hope for the best

[jovial ferry]

nothing good

[meager galleon]

like not even close to your current spear?

or just kinda eh, almost there

[jovial ferry]

not even close

[meager galleon]

okay, so lets see what we can do with your current spear then, got any exalted orbs ?

[jovial ferry]

think igot 3

[queen jungle]

If anyone is interested, I did some science on this matter
Results: strange and inconsistent, probably bugged?
Testing was done with Ripwire Ballista and Pin Support against the big monke in Act 3. (Cruel)
After placing the ballista, the first shot regardless of distance often is low (~3% pin buildup, lowest observed increase)
When I am close to the monke and the totem is far away, the buildup is high (~20%)
When the totem is close and I am far, the buildup is similarly high
When we are both far away from the monke, and I am close to the totem, the buildup is high
When we are both far away from the monke, and I am far away from the totem, the buildup is low
Conclusion: Lockdown Support, when used with a totem skill, seems to calculate and apply the bonus based on the shortest distance of either you or the totem

[meager galleon]

well then use it on your spear and lets hope it rolls a flat dmg prefix

[jovial ferry]

cant i just buy a great spear with that exalt orb

[meager galleon]

maybe, but gotta be careful about stat and lvl requirements when searching for one

[daring dragon]

Once you reach lvl25 yes

1 ex most likley will get you something better than what you got atm

2-3 most definitely will

[jovial ferry]

oh i cant trade below lvl 25 ?

[daring dragon]

Exactly

[meager galleon]

so outside of trade, what i would do is exalt slam the spear, add a socket and stick prefferably a lightning rune in there, and use any blacksmith whetstone si have on it

[jovial ferry]

im half way to lvl 25 so maybe if there is no good spears in the market i can just do that

[meager galleon]

you could buy about 2x your current dps for 1ex

[jovial ferry]

oki im now lvl 25

[jovial ferry]

do i just search for added lighting dmg ?

[meager galleon]

nah

[pliant dome]

Can someone help Freydorn Endboss?

[meager galleon]

step 1, item category= spear
step 2, requirement filters = set max for your lvl and stats

step 3, trade filters = buyout price max 1ex or equivalent

sort results by dps

that way you get the most dps for 1ex you can use

[mossy cedar]

can you change acendency?

[meager galleon]

as of last patch, yes

[mossy cedar]

how do i do it?

[meager galleon]

Respeccing Ascendancy Classes
Redoing an Ascendancy Trial now allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now talk to Balbala or The Trialmaster to Refund Passive Points.

[jovial ferry]

thats the highest

[meager galleon]

looks good to me, your current spear is 56dps

[twilit kayak]

is Hexblast still a dead build ?

[jovial ferry]

bought it

[meager galleon]

gl on the next boss attempt :)

[jovial ferry]

ty for your help

i did beat it easily now

[ashen quail]

Did anyone successfully divine charm slots on their unique belt (headhunter/ingenuity). Tried a few times myself with no luck so wondering if it's possible at all.

[meager galleon]

Only after patch drops will have charm slots based on patchnotes

[elder ember]

pretty much, unless you enjoy vision gaming and waiting 4sec between casts

[twilit kayak]

can Lich chaos build survive end game?

[elder ember]

yes

essence drain + contagion

[night bough]

is this my crit chance or what does it do

[azure lava]

You add that to the number directly above those to get your final estimated crit chance

It's from the critical strikes node in Amazon

[night bough]

so together i have a crit chance of max 140?

or max 60% ?

[azure lava]

You have 111%-145% estimated crit chance, yeah. It's dependent on your chance to hit, which I'm not sure how reliable the value is in your skill/character page

[night bough]

ok thx

[final geyser]

Pretty sure it's completely wrong.

[azure lava]

Me too

It's way too absurdly high

[final geyser]

For every 1% chance to hit over 100%, you get +0.25% base chance to crit, is apparently how it works

[azure lava]

How it's supposed to work, at least

[final geyser]

It seems to align better with the way crits work out, at least for me, than the supposed 142% chance to crit listed up there.

[static zodiac]

hello can somebody help me kill utzal boss the mechanics always kill me

[azure lava]

You bet, I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to help upgrade your defenses and damage from gear. It should make you beefy enough to solo the campaign

And for viper, roll through the wave of spear attacks

Roll into it

[static zodiac]

I did last night and I got some new stuff but I've been dying to the boss since last night lol

[azure lava]

How much life do you have?

[static zodiac]

694

327 blue shield

[azure lava]

That's kinda low, but not terrible I guess.
ES is pretty worthless in the campaign. If you've invested points into ES I'd remove those and get damage nodes.
Do your boots have movement speed?

And is your life flask up to date with two mods that make it restore more life or make it instant?

[static zodiac]

I haven't rolled any with speed

[static zodiac]

I dont even know what that means

[azure lava]

Then I'd go to every vendor, check all their boots, and buy the white pairs and transmute+augment them. If none of those get ms, gamba vendor

[azure lava]

What level are you?

[static zodiac]

45

[limber hornet]

bro i been following chaos lich guide on mobalytics, it feels insane on wave clear but i cant kill a single boss without help..Any lich expert to help me?im 33 level

[static zodiac]

lol

[azure lava]

Are you using a gargantuan life flask that is blue with two modifiers? Not just two lines of text. If you hold R3 over it it should have two mods on it. It will also be called "X Gargantuan Life Flask of the Y"

Gargantuan is the best life flask you can have at that point

[azure lava]

Are you using dark effigy? Idk what level that becomes available

[static zodiac]

it's white and my mana pot is blue

[limber hornet]

yeah i just got it

[azure lava]

Dark effigy + envenom + concentrated effect should help immensely vs bosses

[limber hornet]

the guide says withering touch + acceleration..should i change it?

[azure lava]

Do you know how transmutation and augmentation orbs work? use one of each on your gargantuan life flask

[azure lava]

Yeah that's trash

That's from before the withering touch nerf I bet

And if you get 20% quality on dark effigy it gets 20% chance to apply withered on hit without a support gem nor a damage penalty

So if you have any gemcutter's prisms (aka GCPs) lying around, I'd use them on dark effigy

[tacit knot]

Is there a chaos res penalty after the acts

[azure lava]

All of your damage is chaos/spell-related, none of it is specific to damage over time. Because of this, dark effigy is just as boosted as your chaos dot spells. It's an insane dps boost in single target. Don't use it for utility

[azure lava]

Nope

[haughty panther]

May I kindly ask if I get early access on poe website, can I pkay it on ps5?

[limber hornet]

also i have convalescence for my buff, should i change it?

[azure lava]

I have not been very impressed by convalesence without recharge nodes and being chronomancer for the CD reduction/bypass/reset

I'd use withering presence for damage or arctic armor + frost nexus + glaciation if you hate being surrounded and swarmed

Tho after the monster nerfs idk how big a deal that is anymore

[limber hornet]

i mean reading withering presence i get a chaos buff..Isnt that what im looking for?

[tawny star]

Hey
Can anyone explain Blasphemy to me? There are two different descriptions:
Turns socketed Curse skills into vile Auras, applying their effects to all nearby enemies.

Socketed Curse Skills apply in an Aura around you
The first one clearly states Curse changes into Aura, so it should no longer be under effects for Curses, only for Auras.
The other one seems like Curse gain the Aura trait and becomes both, so Curse passive/effects and Aura passive/effects should both apply.

[azure lava]

They become both a curse and an aura

[tawny star]

Thank you

[azure lava]

Yes, but defensively arctic armor is more useful. So it's your call

[limber hornet]

on withering presence are there any must support gems?

[azure lava]

Persistence is good

[tardy mauve]

how much damage are you suppose to deal with rake in cruel act 3?

My rake is dealing a little more than 300dmg, 600dmg when doing from far away

feels kinda low

[azure lava]

Assuming you're using stomping ground, it falls off if you don't get strength

If you're going the rake + stomping ground route, str is your most important stat

Until you swap to a different skill

[tardy mauve]

I have 106 str

I am doing bleed crit build

On witchhunter

I have around 30% crit chance

With the unique crit spear

Biggest issue are bosses

I don't feel like rapid assault spear explosion Works at all

I am imbedding 5 spears and exploding them with lightning jump.
Dmg feels like one rake attack

[azure lava]

Stomping ground does not inherit rake's bleed chance

Nor does it crit

[tardy mauve]

It has 5% crit

[azure lava]

Oh yeah my b

But for a bleed build it's pretty useless

It doesn't add the Shockwave damage to your attacks or anything so it does not add to bleed magnitude

[tardy mauve]

If there was a training dummy I would test rapid assaylt

It feels bugged

[azure lava]

And if you're going for crit, it doesn't benefit from any crit nodes specific to weapons

I sometimes use the Crowbell as a target dummy

[tardy mauve]

Spear explosion feels like always deal one stack of spears

[wary grove]

quick question
if a companion (tamed beast) has an aura modifier, does increase area of effect mödifier on the companion scale the aura modifier?
thanks for the help

[azure lava]

Intuition says it should, yet others have observed no change when supported by magnified effect. It seems the mods it has are fixed

[glass gale]

Has the haste aura been removed from mobs?

[meager galleon]

just from the ones that are already fast by default

[lucid breach]

why this spear do more dmg than this spear

cus in my small brain it should do more

traded for it in excitement and i feel like im missing smthn obvius

[wispy vine]

my game was working fine joined an area and now im stuck on a infinite loading screen for that character. I tried reinstalling the game and it still is stuck. I'm in compatability mode for windows 8 and tried disabling multithreading. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

[hybrid star]

see the total damage number

[lucid breach]

on left or right

cus i never was this stupid last patch on warrior so feel dumb as hell

[livid fiber]

can someone help me with Viper in act 3 normal?

[lament stone]

the flat damage at the top of the weapon

[lucid breach]

cus traded thats spear cus i got lys rampart shield so wanted more accuracy

[lament stone]

attack skills use the damage of your weapon

[plucky snow]

that first one has lost pf elemental dmg, fire, cold

[lucid breach]

i thought so but i thought the rolls would overtake that 😦

[lament stone]

so if your weapon has low flat damage, the multipliers apply to that lower flat damage and you end up with a lower overall number

[lucid breach]

oof

[plucky snow]

did you take amazon accuracy passives?

[lucid breach]

can qualitying and socketing make it better or is the flat dmg on the othere that much better

[lament stone]

51 (with 80% converted to element probably) then increased by 61% is less than 50+47+50

[lucid breach]

ye on only on 2nd ascendancy tho

[lament stone]

the flat damage on the first one is just so much better

[lucid breach]

ffs

[plucky snow]

that ascendancy seems to require weapon accuracy, not your total, so look for high accuracy spear

[lucid breach]

aight

thanks for the help and quick responses peepes

[plucky snow]

accuracy/physical damage/attack speed on spear are your best dps friends

[lament stone]

not exactly

higher flat elemental damage is going to be better than a mid accuracy roll

[plucky snow]

but for this level i guess its better to just find high accuracy spear to get dps spike till endgame

[lament stone]

no at this level its going to be way easier to find a high flat ele damage spear

remember its 25% of accuracy rating on your weapon added as phys damage

[plucky snow]

on weapon

[lament stone]

so if you only have +100 accuracy thats 25 phys damage, and thats added after % increased phys damage and qualityis applied to the flat phys damage local to the weapon

[plucky snow]

like 400 accuracy spear will cost 1ex and will give +100damage

[hybrid star]

around that level it only goes to 200 max

[plucky snow]

ehm, i got my ascendancy at mid 3rd act with 385 accuracy and it just tripled my dps to 8k

[lament stone]

but accuracy alone doesnt make a weapon good

the other flat damage matters too

so saying just go for a high accuracy weapon isnt a good idea, theres a few different combinations of stats that they should look out for

the best spear they could get is obviously a high accuracy high phys damage with attack speed weapon, and maybe +gem levels

but you arent always going to be able to get the best option that is available to you

[plucky snow]

that is for sure

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[crystal gorge]

ah, sorry

[hearty tundra]

Does lightning spear work with this split shot notable? The wording on lightning spear got me confused.

[hard blade]

What beast mobs have an elemental damage aura mod I currently have a physical damage aura mob

[limber hornet]

why are these a different colour on the guide?

[paper galleon]

different weapon sets

[limber hornet]

ha?

there are weapon sets?

[final geyser]

You can have up to two weapon sets equipped, and swap between them by pressing X or by using a skill that can only be used with the other weapon set, with Shapeshifting (currently only from Infernalist's Demon Form) counting as a third.

You can allocate weapon set passives separately between these weapon sets - you get 2 every time you use a skill book in the campaign, alongside the regular passive points.

[tacit knot]

I bought the hellfire armour cosmetic a while ago vut it says not available in poe 2 will it ever be?

[final geyser]

99% of MTX from PoE1 will be made available in PoE2 in time.

[tacit knot]

Okay ty 🙂

[round isle]

can anybody explain how this ascendency works i have 1.5 hp regen but im getting alot of mana regen after taking this

ah nvm

im dumb

[final geyser]

It's equal to 6% of maximum Life, per second.

[round isle]

i read it as life regen instead of life

[grand dome]

is hasted beast the haste aura or is it something else?

[mortal canyon]

is there fix for ascent to power quest for curel difficulty, i can't seems to complete the quest

[final geyser]

In Cruel, just ignore it.

24 and 100

[mortal canyon]

then how i am suppose to get 3rd ascent points

[final geyser]

From dropping a high enough level Barya or Inscribed Ultimatum. There's no quest tied to it at the moment.

[sudden sparrow]

You suffer waiting for Baba to drop at like lvl 60+ then fail on trial 2

Then wait for a newer 1

[mortal canyon]

i kill that boss so many times and max i got is 57 level, fml

[sudden sparrow]

Not her you find it randomly

Killing her doesn't do anything

Except give you her loot cha ces

[mortal canyon]

is there guide related to this, sorry for too many questions

[maiden spire]

yo guys i got a question is there a way to respecs the passives

[worthy drum]

just talk to the hooded one
in case you havent gone that far and just started... just progress the campaign a bit and you will see him in an hour or so

[hard blade]

Is this bugged? I can't get it to work

[forest gazelle]

Why did the Exiles break up?
Because they had too many divine differences!

[worthy drum]

assuming you already did the Sekhema trial from quest item AND the Chaos trial from quest to get point 1, 2, 3, 4
for 5th and 6th points you need to complete Sekhema trial with 3 floors, I don't think that drop during campaign but might be mistaken.
it will say on the item tooltip if doing the trial will give you ascendancy point or not, don't need to guess.

[sinful shuttle]

are companiions considered allies?

[opal eagle]

gonna be honest

I enjoy monk

but it does feel like there's only one way to play monk atm

even as I'm trying to build Acolyte of Chayula

I'm still just using the same skills as invoker monk

[hard cairn]

they can drop from campaign, 3rd asc requires level 55 and 4th 65 now

lowered requirements by 10 levels

[weary coral]

ye, poe is really a game about choosing ascendancy skills + gems that synergize regardless of whether or not they fit the 'archetype'

[worthy drum]

hmm, I just woke up, did the patch dropped?

[hard cairn]

yeah it did

[limber hornet]

i got concentrated effect and envenom on dark efigy..what else should i use?

[tacit knot]

On a quarter staff. If one of rhe mods says 23% increased phys damage. But the item only does lightning damage. Does it affect your overall phys, or nothing at all? Misroll?

[maiden spire]

yo guys i just did a golden tomb but the icon is still there is that normal?

[covert atlas]

If it is a lightning base then yes, the %phys mod does nothing unless you also rolled flat phys dmg

[worthy drum]

there were a couple places I remember didn't cross out, dont worry about it if you sure you did it already

[worthy drum]

overabundance so you can plop 2 down

[tacit knot]

Too bad ty! Looked beautiful otherwise 😦

[covert atlas]

Yeah I would avoid those bases in general IMO

There not really any decent support for them rn

[tacit knot]

I cant add phys somehow?

[covert atlas]

You can but it will just be the flat phys mod

Compared to a phys base which gets converted damage from your skill anyway

which means you could have a high % phys, flat phys + flat lightning potentially for example

[opal eagle]

like

I'm trying to build Acolyte of Chayula

but I'm still using Ice Strike

Charged Staff

Bell

[covert atlas]

You got invoker at home

[opal eagle]

but there's not many other options

[sick sage]

Acolyte of baitula

[covert atlas]

Yeah you’re not wrong lol

[opal eagle]

like.. I could do whirling assault? but the nodes near monk start don't really make much sense for it

[sick sage]

Ascendencies are always good person and then bad evil person

Witch is all bad

[clear vine]

How do i make my whirling slash/whirlwind lance take in elemental effects. Im using glacial lance with whirlwind lance but nothing is happening to the tornado

[lament stone]

they gain elements from ground effects

so you need burning ground, shocked ground or chilled ground

[stark reef]

is there a poe regex tutorial somewhere?

Or what kind of regex does poe2 use?

[plucky snow]

if you use tamed beast find one with trail of ice/fire/electricity

or some skills that leave those grounds, but for me beast is easiest way

[cold lichen]

Any1 that can kill Jamanra normal real quick for me

[old coral]

hello, is there a certain stage you need to reach to be able to trade with ppl? Im getting the invalid query; your account must be ingame etc.

[tame mango]

Hey legends, what's the goto build for huntress

[worthy drum]

it's reaching lv25 for any character in your account I believe

[neat lodge]

? am i missing saomething. I see this happening often. Like what is the path to get to this tower?

[ashen saffron]

can anyone help me with memorial of the lost ? 😄

[final geyser]

If a node has more than 4 connections, any extra are fake. In that case, the node you're currently on visually connects to 5 different nodes, and so one of the connections doesn't actually exist.

[plucky snow]

and he cleared 2 of those leading to tower

[cursive plume]

any high lvl player free to help me kill the boss at the end of act 2 ? Invite Natalie_rip thank you

[final geyser]

Both had more than 4 connections

[knotty totem]

so i tested volatile support gems

[sick sage]

Did u pop like a balloon

[limber hornet]

shoud i play with a spectre or a focus on a chaos lich?

[inland sentinel]

Chaos lich will take you very far if you invest into it

[dusky burrow]

like a balloon you say

[limber hornet]

i meant about the 2nd hand item

seen everyone using a focus but i will lose all my skeletons

[frank sundial]

1 point right? i need a lvl 75 one for the last 2 afaik?

[inland sentinel]

If you are using any minions and need spirit I would say go with sceptre, focus would be more like an endgame thing imo

I used a sceptre for almost the entire campaign just for the spirit

[azure lava]

You get two points per ascension. Assuming you have 4 ascendancy points, that will get you up to 6

And yeah a level 75 should have 4 floors

[frank sundial]

rip keys?

i just opened a doornearby no indication that id lose the loot

😦

[sinful shuttle]

any good?

[worthy drum]

usable, but I'd be looking for minion gem level & increase spirit as priority

[split burrow]

how does area of effect bonus works ? i've picked a lot of area of effects nodes for a total of +79% but the exploding area of my explosive spear only go from 3.2 to 4.2 i'm not good with math but i can tell thats only around 30%

[final geyser]

You're comparing the Area to the Radius of the explosion. AoE stats specifically affect the Area, the Skill panel describes the Radius.

Comparing the actual Area of these explosions does net roughly a 79% increase.

[frank sundial]

i found for the 2nd time a unique enemy using a unique item, is thsi random or a guarenteed thing u get on some acts?

[final geyser]

It was likely a Rogue Exile, they're random spawns from Act 1 Cruel onwards iirc, if there are any fixed spawns I'm not aware of them.

[frank sundial]

ty

its a very nice concept!

[worthy drum]

also fyi if you drag them into a ritual alter, they will respawn during ritual, giving you more chance of farming different gear/unique off them

[ocean verge]

should I get rage for my quarterstaff or glaciation for my frozen locus first?

[split burrow]

oh ok thx yeah if i do (Px3.2^2)x1,79 i get the same as (Px4.2^2) now it's clear

[wide wasp]

yo chat what does gain no bonus from int mean? is that good or bad

[final geyser]

It means that you don't get any Mana from Intelligence.

[wide wasp]

oh so thats bad?

[final geyser]

If you need that Mana, yes. If the other benefits you're getting from the item that has that effect makes up for that downside, then no.

[wide wasp]

okok thank u

[final geyser]

For instance, if you're looking at the Body Armour that gives +100 Spirit, Enfolding Dawn, then the extra Spirit can be huge on Minion builds or builds that want to use a variety of Spirit Reservations early on, and the loss of Mana can be relatively minor in comparison.

[fleet bison]

Hi, just did the 3rd ascendancy to get the 5&6 points. The altar is saying interact to gain ascendancy points, but it's not working. I finished the trial of will. Got a token that was saying it rewards ascendancy points.

When I click select, nothing happens

[lament stone]

it had 3 floors?

[red lintel]

dunno how consoles do it sorry, but sometimes when u click the thing it doesnt pop the dialogue up, but u still get the points if u check on skill screen

[fleet bison]

I can proceed to the 3rd test

Trial of cunning

I finished the 2nd one

[lament stone]

so you didnt fight the scorpion boss yet?

[fleet bison]

No

[red lintel]

3rd asc after 3rd boss ya

[fleet bison]

Ok

Thank you

[red lintel]

is there any way to reset the vendors in poe2?

[lament stone]

by levelling up

[red lintel]

oh :[
so no like reinstance spam or

[lament stone]

no

[red lintel]

rip ok, ty

[thorn quest]

how do i use my different necro summons abilities? like the poison on the archers etc? The game never told me (Or i never saw it if it did)

[final geyser]

Bind them to your skill buttons. On PC, just click on the button you want to bind it to and select the Command skill from the list that appears.

[hushed pike]

double shilded warrior

[fleet bison]

If you fail the ascendancy trials does the token get destroyed? For the 5&6 points

[safe lance]

yes only the green quest ones are repeatable, the others are consumables.

[fleet bison]

Ok, thank you

[ocean verge]

what's a weapons set passive skill point?

[dusky burrow]

it lets you assign those points to one of your 2 weapon sets

[ocean verge]

wait my weapon sets have separate passive trees?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

they're the same but can differ by x points

where x is the number of weapons set passive skill points you have

[azure lava]

If you don't swap weapons, I wouldn't assign any weapon set points. They'll just make your life harder and your build worse

[safe lance]

I would say "There are regular points but you have the option of allocating them differently per weapon set if you wish"

[ocean verge]

ah okay

what does this mean?

[safe lance]

It means you search for an entry to that area in the Hunting grounds

[azure lava]

Freythorn is the name of an area near the hunting grounds. Ignore the "above", it can be found in other parts of the hunting ground

[dusky burrow]

it means what it says, it's an area with an important quest item

[ocean verge]

oh okay

I was just searching the top

[azure lava]

I think it means literally above it, vertically, but the entrance can be in other places, yeah

Very confusing wording

[safe lance]

The dialogs with Finn explain it better but I dont blame people if they skip it.

[azure lava]

It's a zone that's built into treetops

[fickle ember]

this chest in act 2 , is it worth going back for like skill points or something?

[azure lava]

If it doesn't have a + it's not a permanent bonus

So it's some type of item reward

[safe lance]

I am just playing through acts now and if my memory serves right it is random gear or 1 uncut support gem and maybe 1 artificers orb

[fickle ember]

hmm ok forget it 😄 not skill points spirit or max res idc thanks

[jaunty sun]

Anyone having issues crashing at Halani Gates? Happens on both DX12 and Vulkan

[sinful shuttle]

Do runes increase level requirement?

[ocean verge]

how come"?

[sinful shuttle]

like can I put a big rune in low level equip?

[ocean verge]

also I killed it but it still isn't grayed out

[daring dragon]

Yes

[sinful shuttle]

noice

it wont increase the level right?

[daring dragon]

Nope

[maiden spire]

what button do i press to find my skills plus the skills on other weapons?

[sinful shuttle]

should be G

[versed shore]

are golden charms fixed yet?

[cursive plume]

Any high lvl free to help me kill the boss at the end of act 2 ? Invite Natalie_rip thank you

[azure lava]

Because if you're only use one weapon you're only benefitting from weapon set 1. Which means any points you put in weapon set 2 do literally nothing. On top of that, you cannot allocate non-set nodes that are attached to your tree via weapon set nodes. So you'll likely hit a situation where you cannot assign a node you want because you've caged yourself with weapon set nodes.

[daring dragon]

You aren't playing softcore dawn of the hunt

Probably should specify which mode you play

[azure lava]

I'd recommend giving #1328202289755983932 a read. It'll help you upgrade your gear and do the campaign solo

[azure lava]

You need to right click the skill book you got from him

[queen silo]

so I need some help in wrapping my head around this game so I can make a proper build but is this still meant to be a fast paced rush head in kind of game or is it more strategic now since theres a roll and guard mechanic, since I'm still used to the first game and rushing in with a leech build

[azure lava]

It's a lot slower paced and a large part of character power is tied to comboing abilities together.

[queen silo]

ah alright thats probably part of it since I'm still thinking of this game as "you have your main damage skill and you have support skills plus a movement one on the side"

the leech cyclone treated me too well in the first one

[azure lava]

Since you cannot use duplicate supports and there are a ton of supports that consume/apply various (de)buffs, it's highly encouraged to use a bunch of different skills. Especially since you can basically have 9+ "six links" now, to use a poe1 term

[queen silo]

and as for the skills I've got both a magic and monk class, for skill tree wise I'm still assuming you should stick to 1 element?

[azure lava]

For example my first character used a combo of

1. Freeze boss
2. Put down tornado shots behind the boss
3. Use barrage to make my next skill repeat a bunch of times
4. Charge a perfectly timed Snipe that shoots like 6 times, pierces the boss, hits the tornado behind it, and bounces back into him for even more damage

[azure lava]

Typically yeah

There might be some exceptions with weapon swap shenanigans but generally you focus on one type/weapon

[queen silo]

man this one seems a lot trickier than the first but I'm down for the challenge

[azure lava]

Read gems in their entirety. Hold alt and click on underlined keywords to read what they do

If you do that and read a lot you should be fine going in without a guide
